dkCambridgeshire Posted November 4, 2011 Share #1  Posted November 4, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration)  Cathedral Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew , Peterborough UK.  Taken with a Leica X1 at dusk 2 November 2011. I climbed a parapet in the Cathedral Precincts and held the X1 as high above my head as possible in order to squeeze the West Front into the frame ... and then cropped the foreground.  ISO 800, f2.8 1/13sec., Auto White Balance  dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkCambridgeshire Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share #3  Posted November 5, 2011 The completed church was consecrated in 1238 but the original church dates from 655 AD Peterborough Cathedral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia  dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted November 5, 2011 Share #4 Â Posted November 5, 2011 Dunk, Â A lovely shot with the magnificent light and colors. Well framed with the excellent sharpness. Â Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkCambridgeshire Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share #5  Posted November 5, 2011 A few more taken on the same evening using my Leica X1:  Firstly, The Guildhall , Cathedral Square Peterborough at dusk. This has been cropped to exclude surrounding buildings and pedestrian traffic.   Half an hour later the fountains are illuminated - difficult photos - I need to try again with a tripod and smaller aperture - these are again taken with the X1 handheld above my head     And this shows some of the detail of Peterborough Cathedral West Front floodlit at dusk.   Best wishes  dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
